Aileen Lawlor + Synergy FlowArts Contact Staff 

Aileen, you are my favorite contact staff artist! Watching you fills me with the awe of watching a diving hawk, and the peace of gently rustling leaves, soaked in the morning light.

I don't see how many people could watch this video and not want to try this out for themselves. So smooth and beautiful!

Great stuff! Love it!!!

Very smooth style, I like it!

She is so graceful!

beautiful my friend learned some new tricks from watching!

This is exactly what I was looking for. Thank you for being you. Be well

So beautiful. Thank you so much h for your inspiration, and sharing your incredibly beautiful skill.

This is so mesmerizing! I made myself a contact staff a few days ago and I've just started learning. This is so inspirational. Thank you!

This is amazing!

Just solidified my interest in learning staff

Watching Aileen inspires me to try this. I'm newly interested in flow arts and staff looks like it may be the easiest for me to pick up since I was in color guard in high school marching band.

Honestly you are amazing. I first saw this video after I nailed some bike tubes to a wooden dowel and made my first contact staff 4 months ago. At the time this video was simply inspiration for how beautiful contact staff can be if I stuck with it. As I've gotten better I've re-watched it, studied it, and stolen some of you're moves including those wonderful vertical shoulder wrap -> neck wrap combinations. And now I've come full circle and watch it again just to see how beautiful contact staff can be when executed with style. I saw you at lightning at a bottle spinning near the thunder stage and just ran away because I couldn't believe it was you. You rock.

Great flow Aileen! It gives me goose bumps. I can feel your energy :)

just opening up to dancing while I contact, really found that space while at a festival this week....makes it so much more engaging for me...and connected...nice stuff.

WELL DONE! I do not understand those who disliked it.

Impressive! Gives me alot of inspiration!

Beautifull , very nice

She is AMAZING! Such grace!

Nice video, love your flow. Very controlled and tranquil!

Beautiful!!

This makes me want to cry, beautiful!!!!!

This is beautiful

Incredible flow. Lovely to watch

Awesome !! I Just started contactstaff. Tried to coppy one of your moves. (Sort of) .. Now I know what you mean by using a light weight staff.. I hit my face.. not pleasant. Haha.. Your flow looks beautifull !!

The flow at 2:46 is so sick!!! Great performance i really enjoyed this

Glad I clicked on this looking for some inspiration, definitely got a long way to go before I'm that good. :)

That was awesome 😎

Very amazing! Well done

Awesome Dance!! Didn't know you could fishtail with elbows :) Thanks for sharing!! I'm using a stainless steel hollow tube for my staff and I know what you mean about hitting yourself. Lol

This is AWESOME! Oh, Flow Arts!

I'm having trouble changing from vertical to horizontal planes and vice versa, but this gave me some inspiration :))

Your a master peace Thank you

I'm in love with that magic!!! Where are you from. Is it possible to study?)))

So beautiful and this sond is amazing what is it?

Most impressive. I wonder if I could do this with my jo staff.

I do Northern Shaolin Wushu, and Staff is my favorite weapon of choice so far. I also happen to o a lot of hooping. But, my friend was like YO YOU SHOULD TRY THIS and I kinda wanna. However, the staffs I'm used to are the bamboo ones, which are thinner at the front and thicker in the back. I'm 5"2' and my staff is probably like 5"7'. If I wanted to give this a shot, should I start out with a longer one since I'm used to having longer ones for martial arts? The heavier the better for me, ,I think.

very captivating

Just WOW

Think my staff is an even 5' but I don't think the dimensions matter eh? You are definitely good and marking this one to watch for later.

enchanting

Beautiful. I also find the lighter staffs much more liberating. I'm going to purchase one of these and was just wondering how the tubing width contributes and which you would recommend?

I want one.

Would you be willing to put more staff videos on here.like how to make them and more moves.thank you.

yeaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!

The Human Experience, Yum. It's on soundcloud!

Me encanta! Quisiera saber como se llama el palo con lo que haces eso. Gracias

YES!!!!

Is there a smaller version of a contact staff that you would still do about the same stuff with?

What is the song used here? Beautiful aileen. hoping to see you again at spinout.

I’m blind and i am also a contact staff artist just an idea you could add audio discription to the video so it is accessible to visually impaired audiences xoxo love it anyways
